Coaching skills for managers

Coaching is an invaluable tool for managers who want to motivate and support their team to improve performance and manage change. It can also be part of an organisational strategy to support change at individual, team and organisational level.

Coaching is increasingly recognised as a flexible and effective way of supporting staff to develop new skills and confidence. This course is designed to help line-managers understand coaching, how coaching fits with effective management and to acquire practical coaching techniques to use in their every day work.
